What guests think

Sequoia Inn Redwood City appeals to budget travelers for its convenient location and price, yet feedback is split, with many noting cleanliness issues, strong odors, occasional bugs, and wear, while others mention basic comfort, quiet stays, and acceptable rooms.

Traffic, train, and neighbor noise are common complaints. Service ranges from friendly and helpful to unresponsive or rude, with some deposit disputes and a report of window-only check-in. Parking is easy, but some guests felt unsafe or encountered homeless activity nearby; expect a no-frills, budget stay.

They put me in two different rooms both of which smelled like cigarettes my blankets and pillows that I brought left smelling of just that cigarettes. The owner didn’t want to switch my room and the cleaning crew had no actual cleaning products only windex and no spray to spray my room parking was fine but overall this was pure trash! They required a deposit which no where on the site did it say I had to pay one overall this wasn’t worth 200

Parking was easy. The room was a bit loud due to road noise coming from a lack of door and window seals.

I read the reviews before reserving the property but wanted to save money. The surrounding area isn't too bad but the motel itself is in shambles. I was first assigned a room but asked for a different one because it smelled of smoke. The second room did not smell as bad. The person next door to me had the TV on all night. The train did go by often, but the TV volume was much worse than that. The linens were clean, but the floor, walls, TV remote and bathroom needed cleaning. The towels were stained with a rust color and quite worn out. If you just want a place to sleep and don't care about the cleanliness, this will work. Also, the water pressure and hot water in shower was a plus.

Room was a bit less than clean with stains on the towels and on the sheets. The worst part though was the broken AC. It was over 80 degrees and probably 90 degrees in the room. This is also a motel where the majority of the guests are long term and in a not so nice part of the peninsula.

Staff availability and check-in were smooth. Despite a somewhat dingy atmosphere, the hotel's affordability matched my expectations. Its prime location was convenient, and the bed and bathroom were clean. However, noise from neighboring rooms and traffic from the nearby major road were disruptive, particularly on the first floor. Next time, I'll request a room on a higher floor. Overall, it's a budget-friendly option, but don't expect tranquility

They will randomly ask for deposit and will keep it if you check out a little after 11am and for god sake don't loose your key or magnetize it after 9pm cause they will not come out to reprogram it .. and if they do they will tell you to not come here anymore... Even tho you are a frequent customer and have spent thousands a getting rooms from them.

Wow ! Just wow ! Don’t believe on these 5 stars reviews and pictures they are all fake . I arrived after 5 :00 pm , the older guy at front desk was rude . He assigned me a wrong with a broken glass . I asked him to give me a different room, he said they didn’t have rooms Available ( big lie ) . I was moved to room 101, omg it was the nastiest and ugliest room I have ever been too . Plain and simple : DIRTY and OLD. No lamps and a 100 years old bed . Please look at the pictures and don’t get scammed like I did . Go somewhere else , you will regret booking and staying here . Run run run from this place

The worst ever!!!! The room they gave me was stinking cigarette, even though they are in a non-smoking zone the second room they gave me where I stayed had a leak in the bathroom. The toilet was not flushing the sheets not squeaky clean. The TV was broken and not working and the plugs were barely attached to the walls, I was told the maintenance guy was going to come but after 9 PM at 11 PM nobody still came. I rang the bell and the manager refused to come to my room to check anything. Very rude people.
